Contemporary marketing and promotions benefit from the inclusion
of a personalized sports bottle or custom sports bottle. They are the
must-have, must-see accessory of every fashionable, environmentally
active or socially conscious person this year. Increased warnings from
the FDA at the beginning of 2010 about the environmental and community
health hazards inherent in plastic water bottles has sent water
executives and celebrity endorsers running for the hills.
With
renewed warnings about the health dangers of BPA (or Bisphenol A) and
DEHP (Bis 2-ethylhexyl phthalate) on developing fetuses, infants,
children, fish, and other wildlife; no one wants to be seen promoting
what is quickly being labeled as the greatest preventable threat to
public health and the environment. The press has been merciless,
labeling bottled water as a major cause of infertility, birth defects
including genital deformities, impotency, child obesity, thyroid
complicati

We all know that the newest craze is bottled water. There are two
important facts that you should know and I would like to give them to
you today.
First, the bottles that are used are harmful to the
environment. Over 60 million plastic bottles are produced, transported
and disposed of every day in the U.S.A. It has gotten so bad that some
cities are now declaring a ban on bottled water for city use. Some are
even adding a tax to help discourage its use by customers.
Second,
there have been studies that show that the water in bottles is
virtually the same as what everyone gets in their taps at home. There is
a perception that bottled is better that has been pitched by marketers
using words like underground aquifer and pristine mountain springs.
If
you do even more research on quality of water, you will find that there
are many toxic chemicals and organisms that are found in water supplies
across the country. I know that when I

The fastest growing environmental hazard is not global warming or
fresh water shortage, it is poor waste management - and chief culprits
of waste are plastic drinking bottles. With all the efforts to increase
recycling among the average person a recent poll found that only
thirty-percent of plastic bottles are recycled. For whatever reason that
number is drastically reduced for water bottles which only see a meager
twelve percent of users recycle. So, how big of a problem is it then?
Forty-million plastic bottles a day are thrown away and end up in
landfills or as litter. This problem is compounded by the fact that this
is a fast growing trend. In 1990 the United States bought and produced
1.1 billion pounds of plastic and in 2002 that number jumped to 4
billion and is currently estimated even higher.
People have become
obsessed with bottled water and other soft drinks and are irresponsibly
disposing of them. What's more, disposable plastic bot

You've made the decision to start your own eBay business and now
you have to think of a product that will sell in your new store. eBay
stores are so easy to create and personalize that you should be able to
get it started rather quickly.
However, you must keep in mind that
most businesses don't take off overnight. It takes a lot of work and
dedication before you see any substantial profits. eBay makes it easy to
run an online store on the site but it is up to you to find products
that are wholesale cheap.
When searching for a product, look for a
company that can offer products to you on a regular basis at a price
that you can afford. Today you have access to thousands of companies who
have many different selling plans for those who are starting a
business, those who have in business for a while, and those who have
been in the business for years.
Finding the right company might
seem overwhelming at first because there are so ma
